Перевод: retreating jab
The retreating jab is thrown while stepping backward, used as a defensive counter-punching technique to score while creating distance. [1] The technique was a hallmark of the classical boxing counterfighter, with Muhammad Ali perfecting the retreating jab during his career, throwing accurate jabs while circling away from opponents. [2] Dempsey noted that the retreating jab sacrifices forward momentum (and therefore power) for defensive safety, making it primarily a scoring and range-management tool. [1] The retreating jab became increasingly important in modern boxing as the emphasis on defence and points scoring grew. [3]

Move your shoulders with the incoming jab as you retreat—the momentum of turning your shoulders back helps you naturally slip the punch while maintaining distance. The Fight Centre emphasizes this shoulder movement is key to escaping follow-up strikes.
Stay on your toes even after landing your counter-strike, because your opponent may come in again and you'll need to move once more. The Fight Centre notes that keeping light footwork allows you to peel off and reset if needed.
Retreat to a distance where you have the opportunity to pick your opponent off, slip, catch, or react to their strikes. The Fight Centre explains that this distance advantage is especially effective against opponents who lack precision and rely purely on pressure.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Retreating in a straight line only — you become easy to cut off; circle as you retreat / Moving the feet without actually throwing the jab, wasting the opportunity to punish pursuit / Leaning too far back and losing your base, which makes you unable to plant and counter if needed / Retreating too fast and getting out of range before the jab lands — timing must sync with distance.
